[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love
Chapter 61 The Dust Settles
Rouran's iron cavalry retreated day by day, and the mighty [-] troops at the beginning are now less than [-].The eldest prince Wu Ti is still seriously injured and comatose, and the whole army is led by the prime minister Jin Canzi to deal with the constant harassment of the Wei army.There are many mountains and forests in the north of Yunzhong, so they can only detour through the Wuchuan grassland.Jin Canzi deliberately delayed, but there was no danger to defend Wuchuan Yimapingchuan, and the pressure from the Wei army forced him to speed up his withdrawal.Now that there is no hope of going west, the disaster of returning to Rouran is no small matter. Even Jin Canzi, who has experienced great storms, is also restless.
Although Duo Lun, who is deeply troubled, has been scorned, he should not be underestimated, and the alliance with Wu Ti has also been broken. This battle is against Wu Ti. He needs to make plans as soon as possible to stabilize the Chinese army, and he can still win the Great Tan Khan Leave a way out for yourself when you trust.Jin Canzi is scheming, he knows that the most urgent task is to kill Wu Ti, otherwise it will be a bloodbath when he returns to the royal court.
Wu Luohou and Wu Ti's lieutenants, Afugan and Yuhun, have surrounded the big tent. Wu Ti has always said that he has never shown up because of his illness.The troops on both sides were equal, and they were in a stalemate until Duolun led a lone army deep into the Wei territory, and encountered the defeated Jin Canzi's troops in the northernmost area of the Wuchuan grassland.
After traveling all night, Duo Lun, who was dressed in black armor, was already tired, but the fire in his eyes was enough to burn the golden silkworm to ashes.How could he not hate Rouran's [-] iron cavalry and Wu Ti's life at stake when he provoked the two countries to go to war?All the way around, Duo Lun only wanted Jin Canzi to be doubled!
When Jin Canzi saw Duo Lun and Qi Jin and Duo Sufeng beside him, he knew that the news of the defeat had been revealed, and his heart suddenly felt uneasy, but soon this uneasiness was overcome by a bolder idea. replace.People have a strong desire to survive in times of crisis, especially for people like Jin Canzi, whose ambition and undiminished hatred for the Wei State did not allow him to die in vain.
He calmly led the people to meet Duo Lun, and said with anxiety and grief on his face: "His Royal Highness Duo Lun, you are finally here! The Wei army has been chasing us all the way, and I sent countless people back to the royal court for help. It’s a blessing in misfortune to see no rescuers for many days!”
"Hmph, prime minister, don't be in a hurry. If you have anything to say, let's go back to the royal court. I'm going to see Wu Ti now!" Duo Lun said coldly.
Jin Canzi showed concern, and caught up with Duo Lun and said, "His Highness Wu Ti was shot by Xie Qichen himself, and then that damn guy Shaodun committed the crime again. His Highness Wu Ti's injury... Oh, Your Highness, hurry up!" Go see him."
Duo Lun couldn't bear it anymore, drew out his saber and put his backhand on Jin Canzi's neck, threatening with a bloodthirsty coldness: "Prime Minister, if I kill you here, I believe Father Khan will never blame me afterwards."
"Really?" Jin Canzi smiled slightly, "Your Highness, you are still young, and it is always bad to be too impulsive. Aren't you afraid of causing another disaster in the Rouran army when you make a big move now? Don't you also fear the big man who is far away in the royal court?" Is there something wrong with your sweat?"
Duo Lun's hand holding the knife paused, and he suddenly remembered that Zhi Qing had said that Jin Canzi buried eyeliner beside his father Khan.In fact, Duo Lun and Jin Canzi are both betting.Duo Lun's daring to go straight to the camp is because Jin Canzi would not dare to act rashly, betting that he would not give up the power and status in Rouran, after all Shaodun is dead, and there is no proof of death.But Jin Canzi blocked Duo Lun's heart.Although Duo Lun is wise and brave, but he has Rou Ran and Da Tan Khan in his heart, so he dare not act rashly.
"It's just a joke, why should the prime minister take it seriously." Duo Lun smiled, and put away the knife casually.After taking two steps, Duo Lun stopped again, took out a sheepskin letter from his pocket and threw it to Jin Canzi, "I almost forgot, Father Khan sent me a letter to the prime minister, you don't have to follow me to see Wu Ti."
Of course the letter was a forgery. Before Duo Lun came, he found someone to forge the handwritten letter from his father Khan in order to prevent Jin Canzi from dying, and now he took it out to scare Jin Canzi.As for the news of the defeat, even though he couldn't bear to hit his father Khan, Duo Lun passed the news through She Lun, the royal court's bodyguard.
"I'm afraid I already know it now." Duo Lun sighed softly, and walked slowly to Wu Ti's big tent.
"His Royal Highness Duo Lun!" Wu Luohou saw the person running over excitedly, "Our Highness is finally saved."
Duo Lun nodded solemnly and asked, "How is Wu Ti?"
"Originally there was no serious problem on the day of the injury, but later... Your Highness didn't think about eating and drinking these days, and he didn't let anyone heal him." Wu Luohou thought of the changes in His Highness's mood after Li Duo left, and there was nothing he could do except worry.
"Wuluohou, go and prepare hot water, Qi Jin, bring the doctor who came with us, and Duo Sufeng, you lead people to guard here, no one can come in without my order!"
The three who received the order acted separately, and Duo Lun lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent.When he saw the skinny person on the bed with a face ashen, he couldn't help frowning. Is that still his calm and crazy brother?His heart ached again. His heart ached when he lost Mulan, and his heart ached when he faced his father's disappointment. Does he want to lose his elder brother now?
"Wu Ti..." Duo Lun sat down by the bed.
Wu Ti slowly opened his eyes, seeing Duo Lun in front of him with a bitter smile, "You're here."
"Remember what I said, one day you are in danger and I will come to save you." Duo Lun said lightly, with some sadness in his eyes, "A doctor will treat your injury immediately."
"Death is death, why waste time on useless people. Rouran is defeated, I am a sinner..."
"Wu Ti! You are the eldest son of Father Khan, our elder brother, you don't have the power to be willful, do you know that! Didn't you say that I was arrogant, unreasonable and ignorant, that's because... I know that I have an older brother who can take the burden for me Responsibility, if you die, who will inherit the position of father Khan!"
"I don't want to sweat..." Wu Ti said weakly, "Jin Canzi is watching, this place is very dangerous, you should go."
"Father Khan should know the news of Rouran's defeat by now. He is looking forward to your return. Father Khan is not in good health, and he cannot bear the pain of losing his son." Duo Lun sighed, and said: "You have to let Zhi Qing’s life-saving grace?”
"What did you say!" Hearing this name, Wu Ti's emotions finally rose and fell.
Duo Lun didn't hide anything, and told Wu Ti about Qi Jin's finding of him and Duo Sufeng's departure from Weiying.Maybe Wu Ti and Zhi Qing will never meet again in this life, but at least she can be his courage to live.
……
Shengle City has resumed its trade with foreign countries, and stationed in the military camp outside the city is also a piece of relaxation.
Not long ago, the scouts reported that Rouran's fugitive troops had passed the border between Wei and Rouran. The second prince of Rouran, Duo Lun, went to Wei to bring back the remnants. The eldest prince Wu Ti was seriously injured and was fine.
Zhiqing was packing her luggage in the general's camp, and she planned to go back to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes.She escaped from Rou at the beginning and then she insisted on staying in the barracks. As a result, so many things happened. Now everything has been settled, and there is nothing to worry about.When Mulan walked in, she saw Zhiqing sitting on the couch in a daze.
"Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Zhiqing smiled to herself, "Although the military camp is depressing, I really feel a little bit reluctant to leave right now."
Mulan looked at her amusedly, "The emperor's dragon body has not healed, and General Xie is also involved in many things. I think it will take a few days for you to leave."
"It's always about being prepared first."
In fact, Zhiqing hopes that Xie Qichen can accompany her back to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes.Every three months, the soldiers Xie Qichen sent to Wufeng Valley to report safety brought back a letter from his grandfather.Babeican said in the letter that the war is about to end, and he hopes that Qing'er and Qichen will return home together.However, the current situation is indeed a bit unsatisfactory.
Seeing that Zhiqing was a little unhappy, Mulan thought of the crux of the matter. How long has it been since Zhiqing left Wufeng Valley and has not yet married General Xie? Although it was delayed by the war, it has been too long. During the days when Zhiqing was alone outside, she didn't know what the folks in Wufeng Valley would think.
Zhiqing had already mentioned to Xie Qichen about going home, and he agreed, but he didn't say anything after agreeing.On this issue, it is obvious that Zhiqing did not reach a tacit agreement with Xie Qichen.In fact, Xie Qichen's idea is relatively simple. After the emperor's dragon body recovers, he will definitely return to court. He can bring Zhiqing back to the capital to get married, and then return to Wufeng Valley.Of course, Zhiqing didn't know about it at all, and never asked General Xie what he thought, so he could only sigh here.
Right now, Mulan can't think of any good solution. With General Xie's majesty, prestige and prestige in the army, she can't run over to ask him when he will marry Zhiqing.She scratched her head and talked about other things with Zhiqing,
"By the way, Zhiqing, help me return this to Grandpa Eight." She took out a small wooden tube from her body, opened it, and it was a flying needle.Mulan put this in Zhiqing's hand, and said with emotion: "At the beginning when your whereabouts were unknown, I told Grandpa Eight that he wanted to join the army instead of my father, so he gave me this, saying that it could be used for self-defense."
Zhiqing declined to Mulan, "You are still in the army, so stay here."
"Now I have a bow and crossbow and martial arts. It's enough to go to the battlefield. This flying needle is the painstaking effort of the eighth grandfather. It's a pity to put it here." Mulan lowered her head and smiled, "I still often think of us weaving embroidery together. I don’t know if I can be an embroidery girl again.”
"You are Huahu in the army, but when you return to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes, you will still be Hua Mulan." Zhiqing held her hand, "Master Hua and Aunt Yun are still waiting for you at home. They don't know how happy they are. Besides, there is no need to fight now, if you reduce the number of military households and return to your hometown, wouldn't you be able to go back?"
"That's true." Mulan laughed happily, "Zhiqing, you are so kind, every time I talk to you, I don't have any troubles."
"The owner of the flower arc, the owner of the flower arc!"
The two were talking and laughing when suddenly shouts came from outside the tent.It turned out to be a scholar, and he was looking for Mulan on an urgent matter, but this was the general's camp, so he didn't dare to come in rashly.Mulan and Zhiqing went out together, and saw that the scholar was full of anxiety.
"What happened?"
The scholar looked around carefully, pulled Mulan and Zhiqing aside, and whispered mysteriously, "Something strange happened in the building. I went to Wei Tuo's medical room this morning and he was not there. It happened that the imperial doctor woke up." , I saw it was good, maybe I could see a doctor for the emperor. I asked him how he was, but he said that he just fell off his horse and fainted that day, and he didn't suffer any injuries at all."
"What do you want to say!" Mulan's reader began to ramble again, saying a lot without getting to the point.
"Wait." Zhiqing grabbed Mulan's hand, "Since the imperial doctor was not injured, why did he stay in the medical hut? Shouldn't he be treating the emperor by his side?"
"Luo Qing has a good brain!" The scholar nodded vigorously, then turned his eyes and lowered his voice, "I thought so too, so I asked him why he stayed in the hospital all this time, and he said he didn't know what was wrong with him. Always waking up from sleep. There happened to be a bowl of leftover medicine next to him, and I gave him a smell, and guess what, the imperial doctor said that someone had given medicine to make him fall asleep."
"Who is treating the emperor now!" Zhi Qing asked anxiously.
Mulan frowned suddenly, a little hesitant, "It's Wei Tuo..."
"Don't interrupt me, you two, there are more!" The scholar hurriedly continued: "Huahu, do you still remember the black dog that King Dali caught to roast two days ago? When I was talking to the imperial doctor, it Lie on the side and ate some medicine dregs or something, and died immediately, with a lot of blood coming out of the mouth. The imperial doctor checked what he said about horse belly, oops, anyway, some medicinal materials mixed together are highly poisonous, you say... "
The scholar made a knife with his hand and compared it to his neck, "Spies!" The three exclaimed.
"Hurry up and inform General Xie." Mulan said, but she stopped in panic and squeezed Zhiqing's hand tightly after running a few steps, "Do you still remember the death of Chunsi and Luo Zhao, they are both..."
Luo Zhao didn't see it with her own eyes, but Chunsiu died of vomiting blood by soaking her hands in a medicine basin. Could it be that Xiao Sanzi and Wei Tuo were the murderers? Why did he...
Mulan led Yuchizhuang into Shengle City and went straight to the government office, but the imperial guards outside did not let them in.They were guarded outside according to the order, and they could not enter without the emperor's will, let alone a group of soldiers.
The matter has not been investigated yet, and it is not certain whether someone is going to assassinate the emperor.Mulan was very anxious, but she couldn't fight the imperial army.Zhiqing went to Mulan's side and tried to find a solution with her, but she looked up and saw the leader of the imperial army. His appearance...
"what happened to you?"
Zhiqing pointed to Mulan, looked at the gatekeeper strangely, and said in a low voice: "That man, his appearance is somewhat similar to the spies I saw in the Rouran military camp, but it's not..."
"Are you sure?" After Mulan asked, Zhiqing nodded, her face darkened, "That's right, he has a twin brother, something must have happened inside!" She pulled out her sword quickly, and shouted, "Come on, Yuchi Zhuang’s brothers rushed in with me to escort them!”
The guards in the government office have been transferred away by Tang Long's younger brother Tang Hu's false imperial decree. Except for Tuoba Tao's attendants, only Xie Qichen is by his side.When Xie Qichen came out to urge Wei Tuo to take the medicine, he saw him walking over with a pot of medicine.
The same copper basin, even the color of the potion inside is similar, the first thing Xie Qichen thought of was the death of Chunsi and Luo Zhao.He was there when they both died.
Xie Qichen stood calmly in the courtyard and watched Wei Tuo, as if he wanted to see through him. "You know, I have never completely lost my suspicions about you. This medicine...you take a sip, and if nothing happens, I will believe that you are the military doctor Wei Tuo, and I will confess everything to the emperor to absolve you of your crimes in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes. "
"Thank you, General Xie, this medicine is for external application."
"As long as the medicine for external application is non-toxic, it should be fine to drink." Xie Qichen stared at Wei Tuo and ordered him to do so with his eyes.
Wei Tuo tightened his grip on the copper basin. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then looked up with a cold and solemn look in his eyes, "Xie Qichen, you forced me."
He raised his hand and threw the copper basin towards Xie Qichen, the moment Xie Qichen dodged away, the long sword of another person behind him aimed at his heart and pierced straight into his heart...
When Yuchizhuang's men came in, Xie Qichen had already received a sword in his back.
"Be careful!" Zhiqing cried out in pain, at this time Wei Tuo's sword was about to stab Xie Qichen who was fighting with Tang Hu.
Xie Qichen thought that he was going to die in an instant, but following Zhiqing's voice, a silver needle sank into Wei Tuo's head, and Wei Tuo's body froze behind him, and immediately fell to the ground.The blacksmith and Zhuzi ran to surround Tang Hu, and Tang Long had also been killed by Mulan.
The fear of killing someone for the first time has not been released in Zhiqing's heart, Xie Qichen has already knelt down on the ground holding his sword.Zhiqing's mind went blank, a sense of fear as if she was about to lose everything swept through her body, she rushed to Xie Qichen's side nervously, the sword piercing through his body made her heart ache along with his wound. "Zhiqing..." he shouted.
Zhiqing held his hand, tears streaming down her cheeks, and shouted: "How are you, Xie Qichen! You can't just die like this, General Weiyuan! You can't die...you're dead...what should I do... ..."
……
One month later, before the arrival of midwinter, Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao returned to court.The war in Rouran was over, and the real rebel Tuoba Shao and his party members were all put to death.General Xie Qichen, Marquis of Weibei, returned to the capital accompanied by General Xie Qichen. He appointed Feng Huahu as the deputy general and stayed behind in Shengle.
In the General's Mansion in the capital, Zhiqing took care of Xie Qichen throughout the winter.In the battle with Rouran, he was wounded in the shoulder and fought on the battlefield before healed. Later, he was seriously injured by the traitor Tuobashao.Because of this, Zhiqing's trip home could only be postponed.
But in such a day, Zhiqing lived very comfortably, and the days spent with Xie Qichen day and night were actually more natural and beautiful than imagined.Except when he has to stretch his muscles in the yard—
"General!"
Xie Qichen, who had just stretched his muscles and bones and practiced a set of sword skills, suddenly tightened his back, and this time Zhiqing caught him straight.The imperial doctor said that Xie Qichen was seriously injured, he should take good care of his muscles and bones, and he should not do violent things, but since he can walk on the ground, he often wields knives and guns in his own yard.
As soon as Zhiqing came from the kitchen in the backyard, she saw Xie Qichen standing next to the weapon rack in winter, holding a long sword in his hand.She walked over displeased, Xie Qichen smiled loudly and pulled her to his side, "I'm fine, but my Qing'er is too tired."
"Why doesn't the general listen to persuasion again and again!" Zhi Qing glared at him angrily, "If you are like this, I will go back to Wufeng Valley tomorrow and ignore you again!"
Xie Qichen just smiled, looked at her and asked, "You're not married yet, where are you going?"
Zhiqing's cheeks were immediately flushed, she turned around angrily and ignored Xie Qichen.Xie Qichen leaned forward and hugged her from behind, Zhiqing said helplessly: "Xie Qichen..."
"Thank you, General, for accepting the order!" The voice of the servant in the palace came from the vestibule.
Emperor Wei Tuobatao finally fulfilled his promise in Shengle City to grant a marriage. After returning to the court, he was busy with government affairs, and Xie Qichen hadn't recovered yet, so this matter has been delayed.Now, they ushered in the happy event of the two of them.But what makes Zhiqing regret is that grandpa is not around.
The General's Mansion at night is still a happy red under the moonlight, and all the etiquettes have been completed. At this time, only Xie Qichen and Zhiqing are under the burning red candles in the new house.Zhiqing lowered her head shyly, and the general in red beside her looked at her with burning eyes.
The twists and turns between them can be counted enough for a lifetime. Xie Qichen lamented that he was lucky to meet Zhiqing in this life, which added warmth and concern to his life destined to fight on the battlefield.And at this moment, she really belonged to him.Xie Qichen gently caressed Zhiqing's face, and gently untied her skirt with the other hand, and kissed her snowy shoulder...
The red candle tent is warm, and the spring blossoms overnight.
In February of the fourth year of Wei Shiguang's reign (427 A.D.), Xie Qichen went to Shu and wanted to resign.Emperor Wei refused, and made Xie Qichen a general, commanding the northern army and horses, and moved him to Shiyi and fief Wufenggu.
The green hills remained the same, Babei silkworm caged in a robe stood in the mountains of Luoshen Manor, looking at the path in the forest.It was early spring, and the wind was still chilly, but Grandpa Eight was very anxious.
"Grandpa Eight, go in and rest for a while, and I will tell you when Zhiqing comes back." Jia Yun couldn't help but persuade.
"Yeah, Grandpa Eight, it's windy outside." Hua Hu also persuaded.
"I'm fine." The old man replied, "Didn't you say you can arrive today, it's almost noon, why haven't you seen anyone yet?"
Since Mulan and Zhiqing were not in Wufeng Valley, Huahu and Jia Yun often came to Luoshen Manor to take care of Babeican, and they also heard about Mulan's situation in the northern barracks.Today Zhiqing went home to visit her relatives. They first came to see Zhiqing and secondly they wanted to learn more about Mulan from General Xie. Now that the fighting in Rouran subsided, the couple felt relieved.
A long line of chariots and horses passed through the east gate and headed for the west gate.Chen County Magistrate learned that Weibei Hou General Xie Qichen was already in Fengqi Street, so he ran out of the government office excitedly, and remembered to send someone to Luoshen Manor to report.
About half an hour later.
At the foot of the mountain in Luoshen Manor, Xie Qichen got off his horse, opened the curtain and helped Zhiqing get out of the carriage.They walked up the steps together.
Babeican watched the two approaching hand in hand, with tears in his eyes.
……
Rouran, which had been silent for several months, had another incident, and civil strife broke out in the royal court of Rouran.Yu Jiulu's Dayan Khan died suddenly, and the royal family headed by the eldest prince Wu Ti clashed with the ministers of the common clan led by the prime minister Jin Canzi and surrounding tribes.Because Jin Canzi controlled the royal court in advance, after a fierce battle, Wu Ti and Duo Lun lost to Jin Canzi.
A haze hangs over the Rouran Grassland, Jin Canzi kills Khan with poison, and suddenly leads his cavalry to round up Rouran's prince.Wu Ti and Duo Lun were defeated, and they had to face the fate of fleeing.But Wu Ti chose to stay because he is the eldest son. Apart from Duo Lun, he also has a younger sister.
"I'll stay, you go!" This was Wu Ti's first order to Duo Lun.
Duo Lun glared at him and shouted: "Impossible! If you want to go together, you know how dangerous it is to stay!"
Wu Ti also had to let Duo Lun go first. His arrow injury had recurred again, and it would be a burden to go on the road together.Only if he stays in check, Duo Lun can escape. "You said that I am your elder brother, and I will inherit the position of Father Khan. Now... Father Khan is gone, don't you obey my orders? Think about the younger brothers and sisters who were detained in the royal court!"
"But..." Duo Lun struggled and slammed his fist on the tree, "Jin Canzi, this despicable old fox, I will kill him one day!"
"You are right, we will have revenge sooner or later! Duo Lun, you must escape to unite the unaware tribes, find reinforcements, and then come back to join me... Remember, revenge!"
In January of the first year of Wei Shenlujia (AD 428), Duo Lun, the second prince of Rouran, fled to Shengle with the rest of his troops, intending to form an alliance with the state of Wei and jointly attack the rebel Jin Canzi.
Hua Mulan and Duo Lun were already separated by thousands of miles, but they were connected again because of the civil war in Rouran.Under the recommendation of Deputy General Hua Hu, Duo Lun went to Pingcheng to meet Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao.There was another person who went with her along the way, secretly married to Rouran's Princess of the West Sea, Wang Fuling.
Tuoba Tao showed great respect to Duolun, and did not make things difficult for him because he was a troubled prince. On the contrary, he treated the guests with courtesy and hoped to conclude a peace treaty with Rouran.After the trip to Pingcheng, Duo Lun and Hua Mulan returned to Shengle to raise their troops, and Xie Qichen brought Poria back to Wufeng Valley.
……
In the second year of Lujia, Wei Shen (429 A.D.), Emperor Tuoba Tao summoned General Xie Qichen to Shengle to supervise the battle. Duo Lun, deputy generals Huahu, Xi Jin and other generals led the northern expedition to Jincanzi.The history books of the State of Wei recorded the war in which the Wei army raided Mobei from a long distance in this year and broke the Rouran Khanate.
In early autumn, there was a gentle breeze in Wufeng Valley, and the warm sunshine filled the entire courtyard. Fu Ling sat in the courtyard with Zhiqing.After Fu Ling came back, the two of them were often companions.
"After this battle is over, Zhuzi should return home. I heard that the emperor has exempted the Zhang family from military service, and Zhuzi will no longer be a military household." Zhiqing told Fuling what she heard from Xie Qichen , "Will you marry Zhuzi?"
"Well, yes, it's rare that he doesn't dislike me." After experiencing civil strife in Rouran and fleeing through life and death, Fu Ling has grown up, and the brows are more indifferent and mature.
"Zhuzi has liked you for so many years. It is his blessing to marry you, so how could he dislike you?"
"Don't talk about me, when will General Xie come back, has someone already delivered the letter?" Fu Ling was talking, only to hear the sound of sonorous footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
The battle with Jin Canzi was successful, and Xie Qichen went back to the city and went straight to Wufeng Valley after receiving Zhiqing's letter.He hastily got off his horse and rushed into Zhiqing's courtyard in Luoshen Manor.
"Thank you, General." Fu Ling said in shock.
Xie Qichen walked up to Zhiqing quickly, and held her hand excitedly, "Really? I'm going to be a father..." Seeing Zhiqing nodding, he hugged her and smiled happily: "I thank Qichen for finally having a descendant." Already!"
Zhiqing was hugged in his arms, smiling softly, she finally waited for her husband and child's day.It's just that she has Mulan in her heart, and Duo Lun, and she also...worry about Wu Ti, "Is the war over? How is Mulan?"
"This battle was a great victory, and Mulan was named a general by the emperor. As a daughter, she was able to serve in the army instead of her father, and won the emperor's approval. She has been allowed to return to her hometown soon."
"Great, Zhiqing, Mulan is finally back! I have to go, hurry up and tell Aunt Yun and Master Hua..." After Fu Ling finished speaking, she happily ran out of Luoshen Manor.
On that day, the whole Wufeng Valley was full of noise, and the whole town went to welcome the returning soldiers in triumph. They were all heroes of Wufeng Valley.Mulan was sitting on a tall horse in golden armor, with pillars and blacksmiths on both sides, and a troop of soldiers following behind, a real general's guard of honor.Flowers were sprinkled all over the street, until Master Hua and Aunt Yun walked out to welcome their daughter back home, they were all mottled with tears.Zhiqing, Fuling, and Zisu stood in the crowd and looked at Mulan, sincerely happy for her, she succeeded, she is the pride of Wufeng Valley, and the pride of the whole Wei country.
……
Pregnant with a child is always very hard, three months passed in a blink of an eye, Zhiqing's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is already pregnant.It’s just that Xie Qichen was called to Pingcheng recently. He heard that Rouran ordered Lian Khan to send his sister to marry Wei Guo in person to show the love between Qin and Jin. Marry another princess and get married.
On the road in the forest in the afternoon, Zhiqing helped her grandfather to walk together. Although she looked like an ordinary person, she couldn't hide her dignity and charm.Zhiqing was wearing a lotus-colored casual dress with wide sleeves, her hair was combed in a bun, and she tied her hair with only a white jade hairpin.
At this time, there were three people watching them from a distance on the hillside.
"You should go." Hua Mulan, who had already taken off her military uniform and changed into a woman's attire, said softly, "We have promised you to see Zhiqing for the last time, and you also promise not to disturb her life."
"Wu Ti..." Duo Lun, who hugged Mulan, looked deeply at his brother, and he understood the pain in his heart.
Standing on the hillside, Wu Ti still looked into the distance, and gradually withdrew the sadness in his eyes. He understood that he was no longer qualified for Zhiqing.He is about to marry Princess Wei. In order to balance the various forces in Rouran, he already has several princesses in his tent, one of whom is He Hong.Although Jin Canzi rebelled and was killed, He Hong was innocent. If it wasn't for He Hong, he might have died after being captured by Jin Canzi.However, the only way for him to ensure that He Hong's life is not in danger is to marry her, even though up to now, she has loved Duo Lun.
Perhaps the clever Ruzhi had expected early on that he would be so involuntary when he inherited Khan's position... The wind in the mountains made a rustling of his clothes, and also blew Wu Ti's black hair.He took one last look at Zhiqing's back, then turned to look at Duo Lun and Hua Mulan, "Don't worry, we will never see each other again."
His voice was drowned out by the sound of galloping horses' hoofs, the three of them followed the sound, Xie Qichen came on a white horse, got off the horse when he reached Zhiqing's side, wrapped his cloak around her, and walked towards Luoshen Manor together.
As if feeling something, Zhiqing turned her head to look behind her, and for a moment she seemed to see Wu Ti's back.Thinking of this, Zhiqing smiled slightly and shook her head.All the memories between them have been left in the vast Mobei Grassland, and now, she only has heartfelt blessings for him.

Wu Luohou and Wu Ti's lieutenants, Afugan and Yuhun, have surrounded the big tent. Wu Ti has always said that he has never shown up because of his illness.The troops on both sides were equal, and they were in a stalemate until Duolun led a lone army deep into the Wei territory, and encountered the defeated Jin Canzi's troops in the northernmost area of the Wuchuan grassland.
After traveling all night, Duo Lun, who was dressed in black armor, was already tired, but the fire in his eyes was enough to burn the golden silkworm to ashes.How could he not hate Rouran's [-] iron cavalry and Wu Ti's life at stake when he provoked the two countries to go to war?All the way around, Duo Lun only wanted Jin Canzi to be doubled!
When Jin Canzi saw Duo Lun and Qi Jin and Duo Sufeng beside him, he knew that the news of the defeat had been revealed, and his heart suddenly felt uneasy, but soon this uneasiness was overcome by a bolder idea. replace.People have a strong desire to survive in times of crisis, especially for people like Jin Canzi, whose ambition and undiminished hatred for the Wei State did not allow him to die in vain.
He calmly led the people to meet Duo Lun, and said with anxiety and grief on his face: "His Royal Highness Duo Lun, you are finally here! The Wei army has been chasing us all the way, and I sent countless people back to the royal court for help. It’s a blessing in misfortune to see no rescuers for many days!”
"Hmph, prime minister, don't be in a hurry. If you have anything to say, let's go back to the royal court. I'm going to see Wu Ti now!" Duo Lun said coldly.
Jin Canzi showed concern, and caught up with Duo Lun and said, "His Highness Wu Ti was shot by Xie Qichen himself, and then that damn guy Shaodun committed the crime again. His Highness Wu Ti's injury... Oh, Your Highness, hurry up!" Go see him."
Duo Lun couldn't bear it anymore, drew out his saber and put his backhand on Jin Canzi's neck, threatening with a bloodthirsty coldness: "Prime Minister, if I kill you here, I believe Father Khan will never blame me afterwards."
"Really?" Jin Canzi smiled slightly, "Your Highness, you are still young, and it is always bad to be too impulsive. Aren't you afraid of causing another disaster in the Rouran army when you make a big move now? Don't you also fear the big man who is far away in the royal court?" Is there something wrong with your sweat?"
Duo Lun's hand holding the knife paused, and he suddenly remembered that Zhi Qing had said that Jin Canzi buried eyeliner beside his father Khan.In fact, Duo Lun and Jin Canzi are both betting.Duo Lun's daring to go straight to the camp is because Jin Canzi would not dare to act rashly, betting that he would not give up the power and status in Rouran, after all Shaodun is dead, and there is no proof of death.But Jin Canzi blocked Duo Lun's heart.Although Duo Lun is wise and brave, but he has Rou Ran and Da Tan Khan in his heart, so he dare not act rashly.
"It's just a joke, why should the prime minister take it seriously." Duo Lun smiled, and put away the knife casually.After taking two steps, Duo Lun stopped again, took out a sheepskin letter from his pocket and threw it to Jin Canzi, "I almost forgot, Father Khan sent me a letter to the prime minister, you don't have to follow me to see Wu Ti."
Of course the letter was a forgery. Before Duo Lun came, he found someone to forge the handwritten letter from his father Khan in order to prevent Jin Canzi from dying, and now he took it out to scare Jin Canzi.As for the news of the defeat, even though he couldn't bear to hit his father Khan, Duo Lun passed the news through She Lun, the royal court's bodyguard.
"I'm afraid I already know it now." Duo Lun sighed softly, and walked slowly to Wu Ti's big tent.
"His Royal Highness Duo Lun!" Wu Luohou saw the person running over excitedly, "Our Highness is finally saved."
Duo Lun nodded solemnly and asked, "How is Wu Ti?"
"Originally there was no serious problem on the day of the injury, but later... Your Highness didn't think about eating and drinking these days, and he didn't let anyone heal him." Wu Luohou thought of the changes in His Highness's mood after Li Duo left, and there was nothing he could do except worry.
"Wuluohou, go and prepare hot water, Qi Jin, bring the doctor who came with us, and Duo Sufeng, you lead people to guard here, no one can come in without my order!"
The three who received the order acted separately, and Duo Lun lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent.When he saw the skinny person on the bed with a face ashen, he couldn't help frowning. Is that still his calm and crazy brother?His heart ached again. His heart ached when he lost Mulan, and his heart ached when he faced his father's disappointment. Does he want to lose his elder brother now?
"Wu Ti..." Duo Lun sat down by the bed.
Wu Ti slowly opened his eyes, seeing Duo Lun in front of him with a bitter smile, "You're here."
"Remember what I said, one day you are in danger and I will come to save you." Duo Lun said lightly, with some sadness in his eyes, "A doctor will treat your injury immediately."
"Death is death, why waste time on useless people. Rouran is defeated, I am a sinner..."
"Wu Ti! You are the eldest son of Father Khan, our elder brother, you don't have the power to be willful, do you know that! Didn't you say that I was arrogant, unreasonable and ignorant, that's because... I know that I have an older brother who can take the burden for me Responsibility, if you die, who will inherit the position of father Khan!"
"I don't want to sweat..." Wu Ti said weakly, "Jin Canzi is watching, this place is very dangerous, you should go."
"Father Khan should know the news of Rouran's defeat by now. He is looking forward to your return. Father Khan is not in good health, and he cannot bear the pain of losing his son." Duo Lun sighed, and said: "You have to let Zhi Qing’s life-saving grace?”
"What did you say!" Hearing this name, Wu Ti's emotions finally rose and fell.
Duo Lun didn't hide anything, and told Wu Ti about Qi Jin's finding of him and Duo Sufeng's departure from Weiying.Maybe Wu Ti and Zhi Qing will never meet again in this life, but at least she can be his courage to live.
……
Shengle City has resumed its trade with foreign countries, and stationed in the military camp outside the city is also a piece of relaxation.
Not long ago, the scouts reported that Rouran's fugitive troops had passed the border between Wei and Rouran. The second prince of Rouran, Duo Lun, went to Wei to bring back the remnants. The eldest prince Wu Ti was seriously injured and was fine.
Zhiqing was packing her luggage in the general's camp, and she planned to go back to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes.She escaped from Rou at the beginning and then she insisted on staying in the barracks. As a result, so many things happened. Now everything has been settled, and there is nothing to worry about.When Mulan walked in, she saw Zhiqing sitting on the couch in a daze.
"Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Zhiqing smiled to herself, "Although the military camp is depressing, I really feel a little bit reluctant to leave right now."
Mulan looked at her amusedly, "The emperor's dragon body has not healed, and General Xie is also involved in many things. I think it will take a few days for you to leave."
"It's always about being prepared first."
In fact, Zhiqing hopes that Xie Qichen can accompany her back to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes.Every three months, the soldiers Xie Qichen sent to Wufeng Valley to report safety brought back a letter from his grandfather.Babeican said in the letter that the war is about to end, and he hopes that Qing'er and Qichen will return home together.However, the current situation is indeed a bit unsatisfactory.
Seeing that Zhiqing was a little unhappy, Mulan thought of the crux of the matter. How long has it been since Zhiqing left Wufeng Valley and has not yet married General Xie? Although it was delayed by the war, it has been too long. During the days when Zhiqing was alone outside, she didn't know what the folks in Wufeng Valley would think.
Zhiqing had already mentioned to Xie Qichen about going home, and he agreed, but he didn't say anything after agreeing.On this issue, it is obvious that Zhiqing did not reach a tacit agreement with Xie Qichen.In fact, Xie Qichen's idea is relatively simple. After the emperor's dragon body recovers, he will definitely return to court. He can bring Zhiqing back to the capital to get married, and then return to Wufeng Valley.Of course, Zhiqing didn't know about it at all, and never asked General Xie what he thought, so he could only sigh here.
Right now, Mulan can't think of any good solution. With General Xie's majesty, prestige and prestige in the army, she can't run over to ask him when he will marry Zhiqing.She scratched her head and talked about other things with Zhiqing,
"By the way, Zhiqing, help me return this to Grandpa Eight." She took out a small wooden tube from her body, opened it, and it was a flying needle.Mulan put this in Zhiqing's hand, and said with emotion: "At the beginning when your whereabouts were unknown, I told Grandpa Eight that he wanted to join the army instead of my father, so he gave me this, saying that it could be used for self-defense."
Zhiqing declined to Mulan, "You are still in the army, so stay here."
"Now I have a bow and crossbow and martial arts. It's enough to go to the battlefield. This flying needle is the painstaking effort of the eighth grandfather. It's a pity to put it here." Mulan lowered her head and smiled, "I still often think of us weaving embroidery together. I don’t know if I can be an embroidery girl again.”
"You are Huahu in the army, but when you return to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes, you will still be Hua Mulan." Zhiqing held her hand, "Master Hua and Aunt Yun are still waiting for you at home. They don't know how happy they are. Besides, there is no need to fight now, if you reduce the number of military households and return to your hometown, wouldn't you be able to go back?"
"That's true." Mulan laughed happily, "Zhiqing, you are so kind, every time I talk to you, I don't have any troubles."
"The owner of the flower arc, the owner of the flower arc!"
The two were talking and laughing when suddenly shouts came from outside the tent.It turned out to be a scholar, and he was looking for Mulan on an urgent matter, but this was the general's camp, so he didn't dare to come in rashly.Mulan and Zhiqing went out together, and saw that the scholar was full of anxiety.
"What happened?"
The scholar looked around carefully, pulled Mulan and Zhiqing aside, and whispered mysteriously, "Something strange happened in the building. I went to Wei Tuo's medical room this morning and he was not there. It happened that the imperial doctor woke up." , I saw it was good, maybe I could see a doctor for the emperor. I asked him how he was, but he said that he just fell off his horse and fainted that day, and he didn't suffer any injuries at all."
"What do you want to say!" Mulan's reader began to ramble again, saying a lot without getting to the point.
"Wait." Zhiqing grabbed Mulan's hand, "Since the imperial doctor was not injured, why did he stay in the medical hut? Shouldn't he be treating the emperor by his side?"
"Luo Qing has a good brain!" The scholar nodded vigorously, then turned his eyes and lowered his voice, "I thought so too, so I asked him why he stayed in the hospital all this time, and he said he didn't know what was wrong with him. Always waking up from sleep. There happened to be a bowl of leftover medicine next to him, and I gave him a smell, and guess what, the imperial doctor said that someone had given medicine to make him fall asleep."
"Who is treating the emperor now!" Zhi Qing asked anxiously.
Mulan frowned suddenly, a little hesitant, "It's Wei Tuo..."
"Don't interrupt me, you two, there are more!" The scholar hurriedly continued: "Huahu, do you still remember the black dog that King Dali caught to roast two days ago? When I was talking to the imperial doctor, it Lie on the side and ate some medicine dregs or something, and died immediately, with a lot of blood coming out of the mouth. The imperial doctor checked what he said about horse belly, oops, anyway, some medicinal materials mixed together are highly poisonous, you say... "
The scholar made a knife with his hand and compared it to his neck, "Spies!" The three exclaimed.
"Hurry up and inform General Xie." Mulan said, but she stopped in panic and squeezed Zhiqing's hand tightly after running a few steps, "Do you still remember the death of Chunsi and Luo Zhao, they are both..."
Luo Zhao didn't see it with her own eyes, but Chunsiu died of vomiting blood by soaking her hands in a medicine basin. Could it be that Xiao Sanzi and Wei Tuo were the murderers? Why did he...
Mulan led Yuchizhuang into Shengle City and went straight to the government office, but the imperial guards outside did not let them in.They were guarded outside according to the order, and they could not enter without the emperor's will, let alone a group of soldiers.
The matter has not been investigated yet, and it is not certain whether someone is going to assassinate the emperor.Mulan was very anxious, but she couldn't fight the imperial army.Zhiqing went to Mulan's side and tried to find a solution with her, but she looked up and saw the leader of the imperial army. His appearance...
"what happened to you?"
Zhiqing pointed to Mulan, looked at the gatekeeper strangely, and said in a low voice: "That man, his appearance is somewhat similar to the spies I saw in the Rouran military camp, but it's not..."
"Are you sure?" After Mulan asked, Zhiqing nodded, her face darkened, "That's right, he has a twin brother, something must have happened inside!" She pulled out her sword quickly, and shouted, "Come on, Yuchi Zhuang’s brothers rushed in with me to escort them!”
The guards in the government office have been transferred away by Tang Long's younger brother Tang Hu's false imperial decree. Except for Tuoba Tao's attendants, only Xie Qichen is by his side.When Xie Qichen came out to urge Wei Tuo to take the medicine, he saw him walking over with a pot of medicine.
The same copper basin, even the color of the potion inside is similar, the first thing Xie Qichen thought of was the death of Chunsi and Luo Zhao.He was there when they both died.
Xie Qichen stood calmly in the courtyard and watched Wei Tuo, as if he wanted to see through him. "You know, I have never completely lost my suspicions about you. This medicine...you take a sip, and if nothing happens, I will believe that you are the military doctor Wei Tuo, and I will confess everything to the emperor to absolve you of your crimes in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes. "
"Thank you, General Xie, this medicine is for external application."
"As long as the medicine for external application is non-toxic, it should be fine to drink." Xie Qichen stared at Wei Tuo and ordered him to do so with his eyes.
Wei Tuo tightened his grip on the copper basin. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then looked up with a cold and solemn look in his eyes, "Xie Qichen, you forced me."
He raised his hand and threw the copper basin towards Xie Qichen, the moment Xie Qichen dodged away, the long sword of another person behind him aimed at his heart and pierced straight into his heart...
When Yuchizhuang's men came in, Xie Qichen had already received a sword in his back.
"Be careful!" Zhiqing cried out in pain, at this time Wei Tuo's sword was about to stab Xie Qichen who was fighting with Tang Hu.
Xie Qichen thought that he was going to die in an instant, but following Zhiqing's voice, a silver needle sank into Wei Tuo's head, and Wei Tuo's body froze behind him, and immediately fell to the ground.The blacksmith and Zhuzi ran to surround Tang Hu, and Tang Long had also been killed by Mulan.
The fear of killing someone for the first time has not been released in Zhiqing's heart, Xie Qichen has already knelt down on the ground holding his sword.Zhiqing's mind went blank, a sense of fear as if she was about to lose everything swept through her body, she rushed to Xie Qichen's side nervously, the sword piercing through his body made her heart ache along with his wound. "Zhiqing..." he shouted.
Zhiqing held his hand, tears streaming down her cheeks, and shouted: "How are you, Xie Qichen! You can't just die like this, General Weiyuan! You can't die...you're dead...what should I do... ..."
……
One month later, before the arrival of midwinter, Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao returned to court.The war in Rouran was over, and the real rebel Tuoba Shao and his party members were all put to death.General Xie Qichen, Marquis of Weibei, returned to the capital accompanied by General Xie Qichen. He appointed Feng Huahu as the deputy general and stayed behind in Shengle.
In the General's Mansion in the capital, Zhiqing took care of Xie Qichen throughout the winter.In the battle with Rouran, he was wounded in the shoulder and fought on the battlefield before healed. Later, he was seriously injured by the traitor Tuobashao.Because of this, Zhiqing's trip home could only be postponed.
But in such a day, Zhiqing lived very comfortably, and the days spent with Xie Qichen day and night were actually more natural and beautiful than imagined.Except when he has to stretch his muscles in the yard—
"General!"
Xie Qichen, who had just stretched his muscles and bones and practiced a set of sword skills, suddenly tightened his back, and this time Zhiqing caught him straight.The imperial doctor said that Xie Qichen was seriously injured, he should take good care of his muscles and bones, and he should not do violent things, but since he can walk on the ground, he often wields knives and guns in his own yard.
As soon as Zhiqing came from the kitchen in the backyard, she saw Xie Qichen standing next to the weapon rack in winter, holding a long sword in his hand.She walked over displeased, Xie Qichen smiled loudly and pulled her to his side, "I'm fine, but my Qing'er is too tired."
"Why doesn't the general listen to persuasion again and again!" Zhi Qing glared at him angrily, "If you are like this, I will go back to Wufeng Valley tomorrow and ignore you again!"
Xie Qichen just smiled, looked at her and asked, "You're not married yet, where are you going?"
Zhiqing's cheeks were immediately flushed, she turned around angrily and ignored Xie Qichen.Xie Qichen leaned forward and hugged her from behind, Zhiqing said helplessly: "Xie Qichen..."
"Thank you, General, for accepting the order!" The voice of the servant in the palace came from the vestibule.
Emperor Wei Tuobatao finally fulfilled his promise in Shengle City to grant a marriage. After returning to the court, he was busy with government affairs, and Xie Qichen hadn't recovered yet, so this matter has been delayed.Now, they ushered in the happy event of the two of them.But what makes Zhiqing regret is that grandpa is not around.
The General's Mansion at night is still a happy red under the moonlight, and all the etiquettes have been completed. At this time, only Xie Qichen and Zhiqing are under the burning red candles in the new house.Zhiqing lowered her head shyly, and the general in red beside her looked at her with burning eyes.
The twists and turns between them can be counted enough for a lifetime. Xie Qichen lamented that he was lucky to meet Zhiqing in this life, which added warmth and concern to his life destined to fight on the battlefield.And at this moment, she really belonged to him.Xie Qichen gently caressed Zhiqing's face, and gently untied her skirt with the other hand, and kissed her snowy shoulder...
The red candle tent is warm, and the spring blossoms overnight.
In February of the fourth year of Wei Shiguang's reign (427 A.D.), Xie Qichen went to Shu and wanted to resign.Emperor Wei refused, and made Xie Qichen a general, commanding the northern army and horses, and moved him to Shiyi and fief Wufenggu.
The green hills remained the same, Babei silkworm caged in a robe stood in the mountains of Luoshen Manor, looking at the path in the forest.It was early spring, and the wind was still chilly, but Grandpa Eight was very anxious.
"Grandpa Eight, go in and rest for a while, and I will tell you when Zhiqing comes back." Jia Yun couldn't help but persuade.
"Yeah, Grandpa Eight, it's windy outside." Hua Hu also persuaded.
"I'm fine." The old man replied, "Didn't you say you can arrive today, it's almost noon, why haven't you seen anyone yet?"
Since Mulan and Zhiqing were not in Wufeng Valley, Huahu and Jia Yun often came to Luoshen Manor to take care of Babeican, and they also heard about Mulan's situation in the northern barracks.Today Zhiqing went home to visit her relatives. They first came to see Zhiqing and secondly they wanted to learn more about Mulan from General Xie. Now that the fighting in Rouran subsided, the couple felt relieved.
A long line of chariots and horses passed through the east gate and headed for the west gate.Chen County Magistrate learned that Weibei Hou General Xie Qichen was already in Fengqi Street, so he ran out of the government office excitedly, and remembered to send someone to Luoshen Manor to report.
About half an hour later.
At the foot of the mountain in Luoshen Manor, Xie Qichen got off his horse, opened the curtain and helped Zhiqing get out of the carriage.They walked up the steps together.
Babeican watched the two approaching hand in hand, with tears in his eyes.
……
Rouran, which had been silent for several months, had another incident, and civil strife broke out in the royal court of Rouran.Yu Jiulu's Dayan Khan died suddenly, and the royal family headed by the eldest prince Wu Ti clashed with the ministers of the common clan led by the prime minister Jin Canzi and surrounding tribes.Because Jin Canzi controlled the royal court in advance, after a fierce battle, Wu Ti and Duo Lun lost to Jin Canzi.
A haze hangs over the Rouran Grassland, Jin Canzi kills Khan with poison, and suddenly leads his cavalry to round up Rouran's prince.Wu Ti and Duo Lun were defeated, and they had to face the fate of fleeing.But Wu Ti chose to stay because he is the eldest son. Apart from Duo Lun, he also has a younger sister.
"I'll stay, you go!" This was Wu Ti's first order to Duo Lun.
Duo Lun glared at him and shouted: "Impossible! If you want to go together, you know how dangerous it is to stay!"
Wu Ti also had to let Duo Lun go first. His arrow injury had recurred again, and it would be a burden to go on the road together.Only if he stays in check, Duo Lun can escape. "You said that I am your elder brother, and I will inherit the position of Father Khan. Now... Father Khan is gone, don't you obey my orders? Think about the younger brothers and sisters who were detained in the royal court!"
"But..." Duo Lun struggled and slammed his fist on the tree, "Jin Canzi, this despicable old fox, I will kill him one day!"
"You are right, we will have revenge sooner or later! Duo Lun, you must escape to unite the unaware tribes, find reinforcements, and then come back to join me... Remember, revenge!"
In January of the first year of Wei Shenlujia (AD 428), Duo Lun, the second prince of Rouran, fled to Shengle with the rest of his troops, intending to form an alliance with the state of Wei and jointly attack the rebel Jin Canzi.
Hua Mulan and Duo Lun were already separated by thousands of miles, but they were connected again because of the civil war in Rouran.Under the recommendation of Deputy General Hua Hu, Duo Lun went to Pingcheng to meet Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao.There was another person who went with her along the way, secretly married to Rouran's Princess of the West Sea, Wang Fuling.
Tuoba Tao showed great respect to Duolun, and did not make things difficult for him because he was a troubled prince. On the contrary, he treated the guests with courtesy and hoped to conclude a peace treaty with Rouran.After the trip to Pingcheng, Duo Lun and Hua Mulan returned to Shengle to raise their troops, and Xie Qichen brought Poria back to Wufeng Valley.
……
In the second year of Lujia, Wei Shen (429 A.D.), Emperor Tuoba Tao summoned General Xie Qichen to Shengle to supervise the battle. Duo Lun, deputy generals Huahu, Xi Jin and other generals led the northern expedition to Jincanzi.The history books of the State of Wei recorded the war in which the Wei army raided Mobei from a long distance in this year and broke the Rouran Khanate.
In early autumn, there was a gentle breeze in Wufeng Valley, and the warm sunshine filled the entire courtyard. Fu Ling sat in the courtyard with Zhiqing.After Fu Ling came back, the two of them were often companions.
"After this battle is over, Zhuzi should return home. I heard that the emperor has exempted the Zhang family from military service, and Zhuzi will no longer be a military household." Zhiqing told Fuling what she heard from Xie Qichen , "Will you marry Zhuzi?"
"Well, yes, it's rare that he doesn't dislike me." After experiencing civil strife in Rouran and fleeing through life and death, Fu Ling has grown up, and the brows are more indifferent and mature.
"Zhuzi has liked you for so many years. It is his blessing to marry you, so how could he dislike you?"
"Don't talk about me, when will General Xie come back, has someone already delivered the letter?" Fu Ling was talking, only to hear the sound of sonorous footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
The battle with Jin Canzi was successful, and Xie Qichen went back to the city and went straight to Wufeng Valley after receiving Zhiqing's letter.He hastily got off his horse and rushed into Zhiqing's courtyard in Luoshen Manor.
"Thank you, General." Fu Ling said in shock.
Xie Qichen walked up to Zhiqing quickly, and held her hand excitedly, "Really? I'm going to be a father..." Seeing Zhiqing nodding, he hugged her and smiled happily: "I thank Qichen for finally having a descendant." Already!"
Zhiqing was hugged in his arms, smiling softly, she finally waited for her husband and child's day.It's just that she has Mulan in her heart, and Duo Lun, and she also...worry about Wu Ti, "Is the war over? How is Mulan?"
"This battle was a great victory, and Mulan was named a general by the emperor. As a daughter, she was able to serve in the army instead of her father, and won the emperor's approval. She has been allowed to return to her hometown soon."
"Great, Zhiqing, Mulan is finally back! I have to go, hurry up and tell Aunt Yun and Master Hua..." After Fu Ling finished speaking, she happily ran out of Luoshen Manor.
On that day, the whole Wufeng Valley was full of noise, and the whole town went to welcome the returning soldiers in triumph. They were all heroes of Wufeng Valley.Mulan was sitting on a tall horse in golden armor, with pillars and blacksmiths on both sides, and a troop of soldiers following behind, a real general's guard of honor.Flowers were sprinkled all over the street, until Master Hua and Aunt Yun walked out to welcome their daughter back home, they were all mottled with tears.Zhiqing, Fuling, and Zisu stood in the crowd and looked at Mulan, sincerely happy for her, she succeeded, she is the pride of Wufeng Valley, and the pride of the whole Wei country.
……
Pregnant with a child is always very hard, three months passed in a blink of an eye, Zhiqing's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is already pregnant.It’s just that Xie Qichen was called to Pingcheng recently. He heard that Rouran ordered Lian Khan to send his sister to marry Wei Guo in person to show the love between Qin and Jin. Marry another princess and get married.
On the road in the forest in the afternoon, Zhiqing helped her grandfather to walk together. Although she looked like an ordinary person, she couldn't hide her dignity and charm.Zhiqing was wearing a lotus-colored casual dress with wide sleeves, her hair was combed in a bun, and she tied her hair with only a white jade hairpin.
At this time, there were three people watching them from a distance on the hillside.
"You should go." Hua Mulan, who had already taken off her military uniform and changed into a woman's attire, said softly, "We have promised you to see Zhiqing for the last time, and you also promise not to disturb her life."
"Wu Ti..." Duo Lun, who hugged Mulan, looked deeply at his brother, and he understood the pain in his heart.
Standing on the hillside, Wu Ti still looked into the distance, and gradually withdrew the sadness in his eyes. He understood that he was no longer qualified for Zhiqing.He is about to marry Princess Wei. In order to balance the various forces in Rouran, he already has several princesses in his tent, one of whom is He Hong.Although Jin Canzi rebelled and was killed, He Hong was innocent. If it wasn't for He Hong, he might have died after being captured by Jin Canzi.However, the only way for him to ensure that He Hong's life is not in danger is to marry her, even though up to now, she has loved Duo Lun.
Perhaps the clever Ruzhi had expected early on that he would be so involuntary when he inherited Khan's position... The wind in the mountains made a rustling of his clothes, and also blew Wu Ti's black hair.He took one last look at Zhiqing's back, then turned to look at Duo Lun and Hua Mulan, "Don't worry, we will never see each other again."
His voice was drowned out by the sound of galloping horses' hoofs, the three of them followed the sound, Xie Qichen came on a white horse, got off the horse when he reached Zhiqing's side, wrapped his cloak around her, and walked towards Luoshen Manor together.
As if feeling something, Zhiqing turned her head to look behind her, and for a moment she seemed to see Wu Ti's back.Thinking of this, Zhiqing smiled slightly and shook her head.All the memories between them have been left in the vast Mobei Grassland, and now, she only has heartfelt blessings for him.
